Redox estimates through trace elements partitioning: application on two Italian volcanoes, model comparison and overview on different geodynamic envi…
2021
Oxygen fugacity of Earth’s mantle is one of the most debated issues of petrology. While is evident that the arc-related magmas are more oxidized than MORB and intraplate magmas, however, is not yet possible to produce a model that can uniquely determine this thermodynamic parameter for the depth of the Earth. Furthermore, there is not a clear cause that create this difference of redox conditions between volcanic products. Recently, several experimental models based on the V partitioning between olivine and mafic melt were published and proposed as tools for investigating the redox state of mantle melts for different geodynamic environments. During this PhD we have applied different oxybarom…

L'arbre de la vie a-t-il une structure fractale?
1999
Abstract We analyse the time sequences of major evolutionary leaps at various scales, from the scale of the global tree of life, to the scales of orders and families such as sauropod dinosaurs, North American fossil Equidae, rodents, and primates including the Hominidae. In each case we find that these data are consistent with a log- periodic law to high level of statistical significance. Such a law is characterized by a critical epoch of convergence Tc specific to the lineage under consideration and that can be interpreted as the end of that lineage's capacity to evolve.

The structure of a hydrothermal system from an integrated geochemical, geophysical and geological approach: the Ischia Island case study
2011
The complexity of volcano-hosted hydrothermal systems is such that thorough characterisation requires extensive and interdisciplinary work. We use here an integrated multidisciplinary approach, combining geological investigations with hydrogeochemical and soil degassing prospecting, and resistivity surveys, to provide a comprehensive characterisation of the shallow structure of the south-western Ischia’s hydrothermal system. We show that the investigated area is characterised by a structural setting that, although very complex, can be schematised in three sectors, namely the extra caldera sector (ECS), caldera floor sector (CFS), and resurgent caldera sector (RCS). This contrasted structura…
Hydrothermal circulation on Ischia Island (Southern Italy), revealed by an integrated geochemical, geophysical and geological approach
2011
Volcano-hosted hydrothermal systems are complex geological objects, whose thorough characterisation requires extensive and interdisciplinary work. Indeed, even thought geological, geochemical and geophysical observations offer highly significant but independent information, only an integrated multidisciplinary approach can yield a comprehensive characterisation of the chemical/physical structure of hydrothermal systems. Notwithstanding the extensive application of geological, geochemical and geophysical techniques in geothermal research, there are only a few examples in the literature of concurrent use of the three techniques [Finizola et al., 2002; Zlotnicki et al., 2009]; these studies ov…
Numerical modelling of gas-water-rock interactions in volcanic-hydrothermal environment: the Ischia Island (Southern Italy) case study.
2012
Hydrothermal systems hosted within active volcanic systems represent an excellent opportunity to investigate the interactions between aquifer rocks, infiltrating waters and deep-rising magmatic fluids, and thus allow deriving information on the activity state of dormant volcanoes. From a thermodynamic perspective, gas-water-rock interaction processes are normally far from equilibrium, but can be represented by an array of chemical reactions, in which irreversible mass transfer occurs from host rock minerals to leaching solutions, and then to secondary hydrothermal minerals. While initially developed to investigate interactions in near-surface groundwater environments, the reaction path mode…
The Ischia Island hydrothermal system: an integrated multidisciplinary (geochemical, geophysical and geological) study
2011
Ischia Island is the emergent portion of a large volcanic complex on the Gulf of Naples (Southern Italy). Ischia volcano has undertaken a complex evolution since 150 ka b.p., with prolonged cycles of effusive and explosive eruptions alternated with quiescence periods (the most recent of which started after the 1302 A.D. Arso eruption). Currently, hot springs (with discharge temperature up to 90 C), fumarolic gas emissions with CO2 up to 97%, and diffuse soil degassing testify a persistent activity state of the Ischia volcano. Ischia Island is a very good example of an active volcano hosting a large hydrothermal system and, in particular, its south-western sector has long been known to be th…
